An Intimate Evening with Oscar will commence in San Francisco’s slice of Hollywood glamour atop Nob Hill in the Fairmont Penthouse Suite. VIP guests will enjoy early access to the red carpet “walk of fame,” strike a pose for the cameras, and then be ushered to the Penthouse for a private champagne reception, starting at 3:30 pm. General admission guests will join for the live streaming of the 91st Academy Awards starting at 5:00 pm, and can choose to watch the show in one of the five screening rooms.
The bar will be hosted by William Grant & Sons, and guests can indulge in private reserve spirits and specialty cocktails, including a Celebrity Cruises Cucumber Cooler and SFFILM Lights, Camera, Action! cocktail featuring Glenfiddich Scotch. Guests will enjoy a sumptious dinner buffet by Executive Chef Oscar Gonzales, including a designer cake from Michelle Heston.
During commercial breaks, guests will be entertained by Bay Area Emmy Award winning radio & TV personality, Liam Mayclem aka “The Foodie Chap” who will quiz guests with oscar-themed trivia questions for a chance to win special prices and cast their votes for oscar winners on a ballot.
